Aenai Ojarumaru (会えないおじゃる丸 "Ojarumaru Can't Meet") is about the Little Oni Trio confronting Ojarumaru once again, only to find him just staring blankly. Denbo explains to them that the Full Moon Road, which connects Moonlight Town and the Heian era, is being inspected, meaning that Ojarumaru can't go back home to see his parents. Thinking that Ojarumaru is sad, the oni try to cheer him up. In the end, it turns out that Ojarumaru wasn't sad at all. He was just staring blankly for no particular reason. He uses the scepter to scratch his back, and then the oni seem both shocked and annoyed because of all the time that they wasted. During the episode, the Little Oni Trio goes to an onsen called "Oni Mountain Onsen" and comes back with some souvenirs. I wonder what the Onsen Manjuu and Oni Mountain Tea taste like. In one scene, Kisuke draws a really good portrait of Ojarumaru. Supposedly, he has many hidden talents throughout the show and drawing seems t...
Tubi has finally started streaming Anpanman with the movie Apple Boy and Everyone's Hope (very special thanks to Twitter user @VedsaGolfer for bringing this to my attention). I've been waiting for an official North American English release of the franchise in some form for over 10 years, so I was pretty excited to watch the movie. The plot is basically about Anpanman and his friends helping the guest star character Apple Boy find his apple balloon and a magical apple seed so that the latter can get back to his homeland and help restore it after the evil Witchteria infects it with her dark magic. Along the way, Apple Boy learns the importance of teamwork, friendship, and courage through Anpanman and his friends. I find the movie's overall presentation very enjoyable. The plot is cheerful and warm, and the animation is incredible. The music is okay; not one of my favorites, but it gets the job done. The English dub is pretty good. The voice actors did a goo...
I'm starting off with this particular Ojarumaru episode because, as of this writing, it's the most recently aired episode. I might go back and review the previous 24th series episodes some other time. Anyway, Kisuke no Hatsukoi (キスケの初恋 “Kisuke’s First Love”) is about Kisuke having a crush on a little girl after accidentally bumping into her on his way home from grocery shopping. His siblings Akane and Aobei, Ojarumaru, and Denbo find out about this and spy on them. I find the little girl cute because of her design and voice (though she is only heard laughing and gasping). I like how during the scene when Kisuke and the girl bumped into each other, she seemingly doesn't mind the fact that Kisuke accidentally broke her hair accessory and is more interested in the fact that a carrot landed on his horn. My favorite scene is when Aobei and Akane imagine Kisuke and the girl marrying each other. I find it pretty cool seeing cameos of various characters, such as Asako, ...
